  1. To me its all personal preference but I made sure I did this current install Im doing now with all new wire that is the same size and what not. Speaker wire, rca's, remote start and power/ground wire all got replaced with knukonceptz wiring; even though cant anybody see it I know it is there.

    Welcome to the IHoP

    Oh states without much wind, if 20mph is something to remark at, that is pretty bad. You need to visit Kansas where 20mph is a normal breezy day. one of the fun things about Lubbock in the summer: 60 and 70 MPH gusts accompanied by tornado watches/warnings I definitely didnt say this was going to be the worst of it, just saying how the storm season is starting (it will get worse and I know everybody has worse weather conditions then me, that is a given).

    Welcome to the IHoP

    Yes I do because that will clean the roads and make it safe to get the bike out, send some rain my way. Ok I got you, we have a few more days this week of expected rain. Usually around this time of year it rains close to 4 days out of the week, give or take a day.

    Welcome to the IHoP

    We just got done getting a heavy dose of what is expected from our Severe Weather Season which starts this month, lots of heavy rain with 20+ mph wind gusts (gotta love Spring Storms).

    Security With Your System

    x2, I always back in when I park, especially as close to a tree or light pole so nobody can gain access to my trunk at all.

    Welcome to the IHoP

    74* tomorrow with plenty of sun shine, I finally put the top on the box. All I have to do left is cut out the hole for the sub and caulk up the hole for the speaker wire.

    Go to Kinetik's site and use there calculator, that is what it is there for.

    Critical mass amps

    Use them and see how they do for you (they may suprise you) and if they dont get the job done then sell them.
  15. Just because your headunit says 4 volts/5volts or 2 volts pre-out it wont see that anyway so it wont matter how high you go with a line driver. I used a line driver before and if used wrong or you dont know what your doing then you will kill some speakers. If your system isnt missing anything then you dont need anything, now if you want to buy something then all means it is your money so buy it.

    mounting a sub upside down?

    To me I guess it is a preference thing (now will it affect the sound I dont know since I never had experience with it), yeah you can invert a sub in either a ported or sealed enclosure.
  18. jcarter1885

    mounting a sub upside down?

    If you mean inverted then yeah it will change the airspace by how much displacement the subwoofer has, so if your subwoofer is 0.15ft^3 then add that to the internal volume area. Your internal volume and port will change slightly, nothing audible to the ear.

    2 Fi BTL's Fully Loaded Box Buil Help

    Your first step is to get the max dimensions of the area you have dedicated to an enclosure and somebody on here will be able to assist you. (height x width x depth)

    how much does an sa-12 weigh?

    That is just a default setting since it is free shipping on the subwoofer.

    Box design suggestions? Two sundown z15's

    Yeah that is cool, Jacob told me to shoot for 12in^2/ per cube with my application so that should work.

    Ask a term lab that question for an accurate answer instead of some from me or others on this forum.

    Chris' Wall Build in the Aviator vids p.35

    I doubt you will burn them out since they are rated at 60-70 rms, call Eric (ID Tech) @ 866-933-1414 ext. 101 if you need some more assistance. After you try it let me know if the change in output.
